Last year North Bay was involved in a Point in Time Count of Homelessness and another count will be taking place locally next year too.

$3-million in Federal funding is going to 61 designated communities to take part in the count in 2018.

The list includes Nipissing/North Bay.

The count will help communities measure their progress in reducing homelessness and will contribute to the understanding of homelessness.

Last year’s PiT Count found 30 people are absolutely homeless in North Bay while 119 were hidden or at-risk of homelessness.
